Project Blue was big news in Tucson, and it could be again.
Local reporters hustled for weeks to help inform the public discussion about the data centers.
We’d hate to see all that reporting end up in forgotten archives. Plus, all this information will come in handy the next time a data center company sets its sights on Tucson.
So we gathered more than 70 local news stories and listed them chronologically in the chart below.
We pulled stories that dealt with comments by the elected officials responsible for making important decisions, the response from the public, new information about Project Blue and interesting angles on the story.
We didn’t include opinion pieces or interviews with political candidates (we might add those later).
And you’ll see a lot of headlines from the Tucson Agenda that don’t appear to have anything to do with Project Blue. That’s because we didn’t want to overwhelm our readers, so we added to the conversation with bite-sized pieces of reporting below our top stories of the day.
